via this auction via Loscha. If anyone knows when this was from please comment. Click on the image to read."4 panel front and back full color. I'm not an expert on Fairlight, but, I'm pretty sure it's from the first series: has 8" floppies and the 6809 CPU add on is listed as being available for it (so you can run a bit of COBOL or Pascal in your spare time). In excellent condition except for a tiny dog ear on front , as shown in scan.
As some book somewhere put it .... Trailblazing Megabuck Sampling! This brochure reflects that, quite well I feel. Has some info about the different "Pages", as well as the old schtick "you can sample Tim Shaw cutting through a cactus with a Demtel knife" or whatever example they using for sampling! 210 K or RAM is Standard in this reality. MIDI not even mentioned. Sounds can be "memorized" to disc. No sound degradation copying sounds! Inbuilt 20w amp for monitoring (gosh those boys and gals thought of everything!)"
via Loscha: "If anyone could let me know what series it is, I'd be thrilled. No date I can see on it anywhere."
Update: Note "It has the old Logo on it, which I think they changed when they went to IIx."
This is a Series II brochure.
